Tariqa Tijāniyya
Tariqa Tijāniyya is a spiritual path within Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam founded by Ahmad al-Tijani in the 18th century. It emphasizes developing a close, personal relationship with God through prayer, meditation, remembrance (dhikr), and ethical conduct. Practitioners often join a spiritual order (tariqa) to follow specific teachings and rituals that foster inner purification and spiritual growth. The Tijāniyya order is widespread in North Africa and West Africa, promoting devotion, community, and a deeper understanding of faith while maintaining Islamic traditions and practices.
